With its grand architecture, soft natural light, and iconic spaces, the museum created a setting that felt elevated without needing much added to it.

Getting Ready at Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh

Olivia started her morning at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco, which is always one of our favorite places for getting ready in Pittsburgh.

The rooms have a mix of bold design and soft natural light, making them perfect for both candid moments and clean, editorial-style details. It gave the entire morning a relaxed but elevated feel—exactly how you want to start a wedding day.
